How To Use Landing Pages for Higher Conversions
Use High Performance Landing Pages for Higher Conversions
targeted website landing pages can result in higher conversion rates & lower cost-per-click.
The goal is to create a closely coupled relationship between the ad and the content of your landing page, which increases the message match for humans (reducing bounce rate) and Google (higher Quality Score and Ad Rank). Successful PPC campaigns are about more than simply choosing ad words that attract the attention of your target audience. Many marketers falter in the "what happens next? post-click phase, and a big reason for this is sending paid traffic to the wrong type of page.
Roughly 80% of paid search traffic is sent to one of the following page types:
- The company homepage (most common)
- A sign-up or registration page
- A shopping cart page
- A product detail page
If you fall into this category then your highest converting call to action is likely to be the back button on your browser ? which means you are wasting money.
This stat also means that only about 20% of traffic is being sent to promotion specific landing pages, which is crazy. Most marketers know that landing pages improve conversion rates, but did you know that they can have a big impact on Google?s decision of your quality score (QS) ? translating into a reduced cost-per-click (CPC)?
Simply put, you should send PPC traffic to landing pages whenever possible -following is a fancy infographic from Oli Gardner to illustrate exactly why:
